SMWS 5.77 ("A Real Darling")

Color: Dandelion Nose: Light floral notes with fresh grass. Further sniffs reveal sweet fruit candy and delicate vanilla. Palate: Sweet but sharp, like sour gummy candies. Little too much barrel up front, with some pleasant warm vanilla but too much oak. Finish: Short and shallow. Could use more of the nose's fruit. Diluted: More citrus on the nose, along with some stone fruits. Palate much better with water, a little softer and rounder, with some more citrus here as well. Finish still hot and short, unfortunately.
